need to find a piece for a set design
Hi fellow cows,
this is short and sweet. where can i find a business who makes those see through panels you see behind the news anchors sometimes? you know, the ones that have a little pattern in them so they bend the light just enough that when you put a bunch of tv screens behind them, it shows different channels but you cannot make them out clearly?

You can do this with a clear piece of lexan or similar and then apply a blurring stick-on film to this. Such film is available at home centers (for masking bathroom windows) or try the online catalog at Outwater Plastics, they are a huge source of stuff for set builders. They sell several versions of the film that can simulate frosted glass to various degrees. Try putting the film directly on the TV monitors, it should cling well using static electrcity. You can also chemically etch plastic youself using a solvent, but this takers some skill to do well and evenly. You could also use a diffusion gel material.
